Thai Noodles

I recently ate here while attending a convention. I had the chicken larp, papaya salad, chicken wings and khao neiu. All of it was excellent! I especially liked that they put the papaya salad in a bag.. great idea to keep the juices from falling out of the container and making a mess! Very short wait on the carry out order! I will be back!

I'll start with the positives, the quality and amount of food for the price is exceptional. When we got takeout, I was delightfully surprised with the heft of the bag. HOWEVER, not only did we wait what felt like forever, but they also messed up our order. I wouldn't recommend against it, as I hope it was a fluke, but I would look elsewhere next time I want Thai.

I was actually surprised by the food. Must've hit it on a good day. Flavors were good. Fresh spring rolls tasted like they had just been put together. Duck curry was pretty good. Could have had more veggies (strong on the potatoes and bamboo), but still had a good flavor. Nice portion sizes. Service was fairly crappy, though. Had TV news on fairly loudly. Really could've gone without that.

I like to support small businesses. The drunken noodles tasted nothing like the dish I love. Noddles were not right, flavor was off, lots of gnats. It was so bad I went to Barriques to eat.

The curry was watered down and lacked any flavor. They messed up our order and forgot items. Only offered us a gift card which we didn’t want. When we went to pick up the missing items the food was dropped on the floor before given to us. Some of the worst Thai I’ve ever tasted. Please save yourself the money and trouble and go anywhere else.

Great food and great service. Brought the family and everyone got something different. All the dishes were delicious.

We were really in the mood for Thai food last night and wanted a place to sit down and eat near Verona. Thai Noodles was perfect for what we were looking for and they even had a special vegan and gluten free menu! We both ended up going for the green curry noodles with tofu and it absolutely hit the spot. They even had a great selection of chili oils that worked really well with the curry. Would love to come back to this place and try their pho!

This place was enjoyable to dine at. They were very accommodating to my small group. The servers were very friendly and helpful. All of us really enjoyed our food (try the crab rangoons!) and left full and satisfied. I will return!

I went here a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I dined in but carry out seems to be the much more popular option. I had the fried tofu appetizer, which was battered thicker than I expected, but was good and crunchy. It came with a "house sauce" which tasted like sweet chili sauce. It was good. I got the beef pho as well. It was really good. I large bowl and plenty of toppings. If you dine in you have lots of options. They brought a very large bottle of hoison sauce and sriracha sauce to the table, and a set of four other sauces, not sure what all of them were but one was garlic chili oil and it was good. I really like the pho and plan to get it again soon.

Quiet Thai Restaurant. Little strange no other customers dining in. Concerning. I almost canceled and went back to another restaurant. All orders seemed to be carry out. Super busy with 1 hour wait for carry out. Dine in much faster. Pho was good. No beef tendons in the Beef Pho.

Great food and service. They are a small restaurant with a large menu. All the Thai favorites you expect. We dined in but they seem to have a big carry out business. Spotlessly clean and food is delicious. Prices reasonable.

Thanks for all the work unfortunately our food was very watery and tasteless. It sure did not look or tested like any other Thai food we have had before. May be busy Friday had something to do with it

Ordered delivery from Thai Noodles because I was sick and needed something spicy. I ordered the vegetable egg rolls and the beef drunken noodles. The egg rolls were undercooked and the dipping sauce lacked depth of flavor. The drunken noodles weren't spicy at all (I asked for spicy!), the meat was rubbery and the sauce was thin. They were frankly the worst I've had around town. Definitely a waste of $35.

Thai Noodles is an unassuming family owned and operated restaurant with a menu of recipes handed down by current owners mother. She emigrated to the United States from Thailand. So if it's authenticity you seek, try this. Partner declared the spring rolls here the best! We even made our own at home after this. Verdict on the best? Still Thai Noodles! Homemade plum sauce comes with them. I cannot recall the soups and curries partner has had. I've been stuck on the chicken panang curry. There are just a few tables that fit outside. This is on the sidewalk next to the parking and overlooking Mckee Road. It's nice to have the option. Suspect the person seating and serving could have been cooking too. Service was a fine pace, not too slow if so. With some patience you'll be fine. It's been many years in this setting for Thai Noodles. Ignore the semi suburban strip mall environment and focus on flavors and supporting a truly local family restaurant where you can enjoy a mothers cooking.

This spot is a family favorite and it consistently delivers on friendly service and delicious food. I love that it is family owned and everyone is always so nice whether I'm ordering takeout or we were dining in. They have some of my absolute favorite Pad Thai -- it is a struggle to branch out and try something new because it is just that yummy. I think it could serve a family but I eat the entire dish by myself. I recently ordered the Pad Z You and it was also very delicious. It was a lighter brown/soy sauce that I've had at other Thai restaurants but couldn't tell you which one is "more authentic." I once again ate the entire dish despite it containing multiple servings. I am glad I tried it, but I think I'll have to go back to my Pad Thai next order. I would definitely recommend checking this place out -- it is the perfect spot for good, well-cooked COVID take out!

When I got home from picking up my order, I found my container only 2/3 full and did not have the rice that usually comes with a dinner. Disappointed with this order.

Thai Noodles is my go to for Pho and Thai Ice Tea! They will provide with all condiments to quench your pho seasoning and saucy needs. It's perfect for a cold winter day after a WERQ event!! Our group left with full bellies !

Good food but the pricing on the website isn't correct. You go in to pickup your food and find out every item is at least $1.25 more. Also, it'd be nice if they could find better/ more sustainable packaging than Styrofoam.

I'm sorry but my wife and I had the worst experience here. Food was made terribly and the chicken smelled old. This is not a typical Thai restaurant, they make their food with a different sauces than every other restaurant. We asked to switch and we're told that they couldn't do anything. Never coming back again, have fun if you do. SOGGY CHICKEN THAT SMELLS BAD AND THE DRUNKEN NOODLE NOT COOKED WELL. DO BETTER!

Really!!?? You can order food there but not allowed to eat it in the dining room during certain hours. Booo! I'd find somewhere else that appreciates its customers

Avoid their so called "drunken noodles". It absolutely is not pad kee mao. It's a bowl of boiled rice noodles swimming in an off-putting brown broth. Looks pretty but is not a good dish. Their poor attempt at a panang was just as bad; not even a hint of peanut flavor. Just go somewhere else and don't waste your time and money.

This used to be one of my FAVORITE Thai restaurants. No longer. I called and ordered food (which is delicious), but after arrival they said it was not ready. I waited 30 minutes only to find out it had been sitting that whole time and I had been charged for the wrong person's food. They refused to remake the egg rolls which had to be soggy by then. So disappointed in the unapologetic staff. So disappointed I didn't get yummy Thai!

Alright I've been holding back. I'll release the main reason I come here - PHO. Their egg rolls, great. Springs rolls, yummy. But the pho which is listed on their menu as khewtiew (which is how my family calls it - ding ding authenticity bell is ringing) is my favorite in Madtown. I get the beef pho (N5) with shrimp (about an extra $3). If you want to go really authentic try it with tripe (it's actually pretty tender - they know what they're doing). They also provide a variety of add-ons: basil, bean sprouts, onions, jalapeños, sambal, chili flakes, chili oil, sugar and lime. Plus soy and hoisin sauce to continue customizing your pho to your liking. But what makes their pho different from the others are the fresh ingredients and the amount of time they take in cooking the broths. Give it a try and you will notice the difference in flavor. And always a Thai ice tea or coffee. Always. (This mention should probably be in the tips section). The area is a cute, tiny space but can still accommodate a large group, as long as all the tables aren't already full.

Food is plentiful and outstanding. I always take carry out so I can't speak to the service or friendliness of the servers. Price is comparable to most other restaurants. I usually get at least 2 large meals out of one menu items.

HORRIBLE service. We called for a simple order of Pad Thai. We were told it would be 15-20 minutes. We were about 10 minutes away so we thought no big deal. We got there 15 min later and went in to see if the food was ready (it wasn't) and we paid. We were told they would bring it out to our car. 10 min later a worker came out with bundles of food, but they weren't for us. Finally after waiting 25 min, our food came out. So the 15-20 min time that was told to us turned into 40 min. No apology was given, just a "thanks for waiting." Done with this place.

Disappointed! I ordered online and paid in person. They charged a fee if you use credit card. By the way it did not say this on their website. The guy was very unfriendly and unprofessional. The food was bland. I really had high hopes for this place. So disappointed.

My daughter says the spring rolls are good, otherwise I'd go with two stars. "Pad Z You" had no flavor and the noodles were undercooked and seemed to be of the boxed variety. Egg was lumpy, like it came out of an Egg Beaters box. I never leave noodles behind, at least I never did until now. The spelling of the dish should have been my first clue. Curry was ok if watery.

I ordered the drunken noodles. Other Thai places usually stir fry it and it's dry but heavily coated with sauce. I was shocked to see their remix of my favorite dish here. The bag started leaking and I was like wth. I come to find that the drunken noodles were almost half watery. And it didn't taste good. . Why you gotta make it into a soup? Just stir fry it. Even the recipes on google doesn't turn out that watery/ soup dish. Can y'all please update your drunken noodles.

This is not my first visit here but my first review of the place. I struggle a lot with this restaurant. I can't help but compare the dishes to other Thai restaurants or even those from Thailand because of the name but I know this is different. Take tonight's dish for example. Seafood combo in karee sauce. The sauce was very light and tasted good on its own. I put it over the white rice and it was very tasty. Somehow the flavor did not penetrate the scallops, shrimps or squid. By the way there were 4 pcs of each. The only way I know how to eat this dish was to scoop the sauce into the rice, put a piece of meat on the rice and scooped that into my mouth at the same time. The dish was also not piping hot either. I like the flavor of the triangles as well but again something is odd about it. The outside skin is crispy and nicely done. The flavor of the fillings was good also but when you take a bite it feels like you are eating two separate things. If anyone else has this feeling, I would love to hear what you think. It might also be the texture of the fillings - mixed of soft and crunchy vegetables combined with crispy skin. Closing on a positive note, none of the dishes were super salty and the portion was right for a meal.

The picture is P7 my husband said it was excellent! He does not really like thai food but said this was the best he has eaten! Eggrolls and crab rangoons where wonderful. Loved the hint of sweet in the crab rangoons and not a ton of breading. The eggrolls actually had great flavor. My son got pad panang and loved it. We have eaten here three times in last two years and it never disappoints!

I stop by here if I want Thai food. They do turn down the spice/heat so you may want add your own. They are very reliable for good food at a fair price. The green curry, egg rolls and deep fried fish are among my favorites.

Called for Covid Pickup. Got the seafood dish. Delicious!! Fresh and hot! 4 each of featured seafoods. A few veggies and some spice heat would have been nice but really enjoyed. Will be back to try more!

Thai Noodles would be easy to overlook, sandwiched in between an Indian restaurant and a Subway, but it's worth looking for. The service is friendly and the food is served quickly while it's still hot. I've done both take out and dine in, and prefer to dine in so the food doesn't wilt while waiting for me. I've liked everything I've eaten there but the Tom kha is my stand out dish. It's just spicy enough for me to keep me interested without making me sweat (I mean perspire, of course!) The consistency is perfect: not watery or too thick. I like mine with tofu and they are generous with it and the accompanying vegetables. All of the noodle and curry dishes are fine. They're probably not the best in the area but they are far from the worst! Fitchburg has several excellent restaurants and Thai Noodle is a little hidden gem.

The service was amazing. Just came for a quick lunch but got fully taken care of like a fancy restaurant. The beef pho(N5) was THE BEST in Madison!!!!

Staff made fun of me when I called in my $35 Thai dinner order and was confused about whether anything in the restaurant was suitable for vegetarians. They said of yeah we do vegan. The appetizers were fine but the curries tasted OLD, burnt , Like Fish chicken and even had a piece of pork shoulder in them! Not even vegetarian ATALL. STILL HAS NOT REFUNDED MONEY. SAID CALL BACK MONDAY. RUN FAR AWAY PLEASE

Update : I'd say the curry here is some of the worst I've had in Madison. As the review for the Ramen was glowing, I would advise against the curry - especially if you like the flavors of Sai Bai Thong or Monsoon Siam. I can only describe it as very watery and a little too salty(or some other flavor that seems out of place that someone else could probably identify better.) I did miss out selecting the spiciness for my curry so that may have helped but it was lacking the rich, "mm-mmmm" flavor that I'm used to from other places. Vegetable Red Curry 1/5 Vegetable Ramen 5/5 So a final review of 3. I'd also say the place gets fairly packed and due to it being small - it seems planning a backup restaurant if it is full seems wise. The staff seems very friendly and courteous with fast service so no complaints here otherwise!

My husband and I have been to Thailand more times than I can count, which I only mention it as this was a wholly unremarkable meal. More importantly though, the white guy behind the register was just an unsmiling sourpuss from the moment we walked in; had we interrupted something? In any case, a very unwelcoming demeanor. We won't be repeat customers.

I ordered the spicy Thai basil fried rice. Absolutely loved it! Great price point also. Would order from here again.

Called in an order and it was ready super fast! Also, the service was really friendly. I miss living over here because this was my go-to spot for Thai. Had the day off so I made a point of going to get it for lunch! Still just as delicious as I remember.

We got a coupon in the mail, which in my mind, usually means the business isn't doing too hot and wants to gain more customers. Naturally, I looked this place up here and saw a few optimistic reviews, so I, too, was optimistic. Originally, we had planned to go there and sit down to eat, but it was empty. We got there around 7:45pm. There was one dude outside putting the outdoor seating away, but no one was there to seat us. In the minutes that felt like forever that we were waiting around, we decided to get take out. I ordered the Drunken Noodles with Beef. I thought I was going crazy because when I opened up my take out container, IT WAS SOUP. I am pretty sure Drunken Noodles is stir-fried, which it is supposed to be. I don't even know where all that water came from... My noodles were old; you know, when rice noodles are cooked, then drained, then re-boiled, it gets that gummy, chewy, gross texture. Also, the green beans in there were extra raw. It's not the desired "element of crunch" that gourmet chefs employ. Going back to my coupon, I got free crab rangoons for spending $20. (My boyfriend ordered the special catfish, in case you were wondering why Drunken Noodles would be $20, but I did not want to try it.) I have to say, the crab rangoons were actually decent. No crab in it, but I can't really say there is crab in any other crab rangoon I've had. They were wrapped in wonton wraps but made into a triangle shape, which worked well. So... seeing the number of Thai places here in Madison, I am reluctant to revisit this particular restaurant.

This place completely renovated since the last time I was here, inside, outside, and foodside. The bright, airy interior with wooden chairs and benches were a great backdrop for sipping our Thai iced tea and iced coffee, which were thick with cream and syrupy flavoring. I really enjoyed my sweet drinks alongside a refreshing, green papaya salad with complex flavors encased in pungent fish sauce. The sticky white rice served alongside it complemented the crunchy texture and tempered the pungency. Their house fried rice was presented beautifully, with crispy battered chicken breast atop, flavorful and tender. This dish is great for those craving familiar flavors. However, I would most recommend their red curry with coconut milk and chicken. It was fragrant and absolutely delicious, even worthier as leftovers. I love this location next to AMC Fitchburg, which makes for a great, family-friendly lunch stop right before a matinee. While great for dining in, the space is adequate but not large, and I saw plenty of people grabbing takeout orders as well. I hope you'll enjoy Thai Noodles as much as I did!

Good food, plenty of options to choose from the menu. Just thought that the prices were a little on the higher side, but you get good portion for that. Ambience is decent, you have a patio to sit out too. I generally order the veg friend rice which is different from most of the places.

I got their khao pad/fried rice and was really disappointed. I've had Thai fried rice from a lot of places around town, and this was nothing like that. It wasn't flavorful, just tasted like old rice. Missing the distinct taste of Thai fried rice. Didn't eat more than a few bites, wish I could get my money back.

Decent customer service, but the food is BLAND! Wouldn't try again. Got a tasteless curry, and soggy soft fried rangoons. I would suggest try one of the other many amazing Madison Thai places.

Wow! What happened?! In a good way! The drab interior has been transformed into a zen dining area and the customer service has stepped up two notches. I ordered the green curry, drunken noodles and papaya salad. READ: this is one of the few Thai places that gets the curry consistency right. It should be creamy, not watery, curry is not soup. I was very pleased that the curry had thicker consistency than many of the other places I've tried recently. I appreciated the varieties of veggies in the curry such as red peppers, onions, bamboo shoots, and Thai eggplant. The drunken noodle was equally well done with a even bean paste sauce, many vegetables, and generous thin portions of sliced beef. I asked for a level 4 spiciness level on the papaya salad and my nose was dripping by the second bite. I love the accuracy of the heat levels. Kudos Thai Noodles, I'll be back!

I have very mixed feelings about this place. When we walked in at first, I was almost positive that we had gotten the wrong address - even though the sign in front obviously said "Thai Noodle" - because the place looks nothing at all like a restaurant. It is literally an empty room with a few fold-up chairs/tables strewn around, a fridge in one corner, and the cash register at the other corner. Seriously, this place is NOT AT ALL an eat-in restaurant, and I think they would serve themselves better if they were to advertise themselves as solely a catering/take-out service. Also, I took a peek into the back "kitchen", and I honestly wasn't sure where the cooking was being done. All I saw was a really dark, dirty looking room filled with empty vegetable boxes - plus maybe a glimpse of the one, lone cook in a white jacket. Hygiene, anyone? Still, they had decent reviews from yelp and other websites, so I decided I'd give it a try. My friend ordered a chicken/rice dish and I ordered a padthai (my go-to thai dish), and it took us about 15 minutes to get the food. My friend's chicken rice was delicious, but I thought my padthai was at most average. The noodles were a little overcooked and broken up into little pieces, which made it difficult to eat. Otherwise, nothing really stands out about the dish, although lemon juice helped brighten up the flavor. I may try a few other dishes from Thai Noodle in the future, but I think Noodles&Company's pad thai is the clear winner on this side of Madison. One redeeming factor: they have a bowl of DELICIOUS guava candy sitting at the cash register stand. I would have dumped the whole bowl of candy into my takeout bag if no one had been watching...

This is the second time I've been to this restaurant. My mom was craving Thai food so we chose Thai noodles. For drinks I ordered the Thai ice tea which was very delicious. Very flavorful but not too sweet. Mom ordered the hot ginger tea which she enjoyed. For appetizer we ordered the Triangle Curry. The flavor was excellent. It had the unique Thai curry flavor. The exterior was a little on the thick side but I still liked the dish overall. For our entrees I ordered the Pad Z You with shrimp. The shrimp was cooked just right and the rice noodles was just a little bit too al dente. I prefer that then too soft though. Mom had the special: Tum Kha Noodle Soup with beef. She really liked the flavor of the spicy coconut soup. The beef flavor was not totally to her liking. She will order a different type of meat to try next time. Overall, the service was excellent and the food was very good. Their portion sizes are pretty generous so we both had some leftover to take home to enjoy again. I would definitely come back again.

Consistent place and always left satisfied. I've ordered take out from here and dined in about 4 times. I find that I carved it if I didn't have it in a while. Fun fact: try the Chinese melon candies after you pay. They are delish. Love the variety of noodles here, duh. I've tried saucy noodles, soup noodles and their curry with rice. All good and no complaints! My friends and family also love this place and their portions are very reasonable. Service is fine and I've never had a complaint. There's even a parking lot and they do accept credit card. Great taste overall but their sauces do lean on the sweeter, stickier side that caters more to white people.

I was very pleased with my experience at Thai Noodles. They have an assortment of different Thai dishes to pick from and they are served extremely fast. The last time I was there, I was fairly disappointed with the lack of flavor in the broth. But there meals are always delicious none the less.

I would give this restaurant 3 1/2 stars if I could. My mom who lives in Bangkok, Thailand was visiting us in Madison and she was craving some Thai soup and happened upon the place since it's in our neighborhood. She gave the soup a try and was impressed - which says a lot to me because she is used to the best of the best Thai food living there. So she picked up a copy of their menu and brought it home to show us. I was impressed by the menu and we decided to order dinner for pick up there last week. When I went to pick up the food I was pleasantly surprised by the interior, it was welcoming and overall clean. The food was ready when they said it would be. I ordered the yellow curry with three items of your choice (I chose Thai eggplant, straw mushrooms and squash) and it was very tasty. The portion size was generous also. My mom ordered the green curry which was also quite delicious. My spouse ordered the fried shrimp and Chicken Satay. The fried shrimp was too greasy and not a big hit. The chicken satay comes with a random slice of toast, however, it actually goes well with the meal. The spring roll appetizer I ordered was good, although I would have preferred it without the pork. I ordered a Thai Ice Tea to go which was also good. This place has some of the better Thai food I have had in Madison and I am thankful it is in our neighborhood, I found the food more impressive than Sa Bai Thong's. I think it would be nice if they offered delivery in addition to take out. I also think the reason I hadn't visited the restaurant sooner, despite living nearby, is because the name made me think it was solely a noodle place not a Thai restaurant with non noodle options.

Was looking for something a little lighter on the waist so decided to try the pho. I opted for the seafood pho, which had shrimp, octopus, artificial crab, mussels, rice noodles, and broth. It was served with the typical sides (bean sprouts, onion, lime, etc). Now I'm no pho expert, but I thought this was some pretty good stuff. I'd happily order this again and likely will. I've been to the Thai Noodle several times and have always been happy with my meal. They've also recently renovated the inside, making it much more appealing for dining in, which I did. In fact, they have tables to seat 28 comfortably. Don't hesitate to try the pho next time you have a craving! Oh yeah, did I mention it was only $8.95!

I uses to love that place. Worse customer service. They must have changed their spicy level rating. I ordered 3 star which is medium. And it was so spicy that it felt like the guy dropped the whole bottle in the dish. Lady was very rude. Never going back there.

Never had Thai food before I tried this place. I tried C2. Panang and I am now addicted! I love it! I get the shrimp but others I have eaten there with have said the beef and chicken are good too.

I had the Pad Thai. It was not the best Pad Thai I've ever had, but it was very good. The thing that always gets me is the sauce--if there's too much of it, it's just not as good. There was too much sauce. However, the flavor was fantastic so when I do come back (and believe me--I will!), I'll just ask them to go about halfsies on the sauce. We went on a Saturday night (Halloween weekend), and there was plenty of parking. The place itself is small--and also nice and quiet. We could hear each other talk. The staff were very attentive, and had no qualms about dividing the check up for our party of four. All in all? I will definitely come back. :)

Horrible, I ordered with Uber eats today and right when I opened the box I knew it wasn't right. Not only did my drunken noodles have a piece of plastic in it, it was so watery and the noodles were hard and not the typical noodles I'm used to back home in Seattle. Even the rice plain rice wasn't right.. I ordered the papaya salad as well it was so so. Won't be ordering from here again while on work trips.

Why, Why, Why haven't I been here before? We stopped in before a movie at New Vision down the street. The small dining room offers seating for a few tables and they have take out also. I read a Yelp review about their Pad Panang and needed to try it. I ordered it with chicken and a Thai iced tea. The Thai tea was so flavorful and refreshing. It was not overly sweet and had the right amount of cream in it. That plate of chicken pad panang was really great! I added the side of jasmine rice to the plate and mixed it in. That was the best combination. It has just a hint of heat. They serve a dispenser with hot spice options to add to your food. i sprinkled a little red pepper to the plate to kick it up a notch. WOW- I'll be back for more of this menu item! The two others with me both tried it and wanted to trade their plates with me. Both said that their meals were great, but that pad panang was really delicious.I could eat that sauce alone, it's so good. I snapped a photo of the Triple N bowl. It was packed with a variety of meats and veggies and smelled wonderful. There wasn't any of it left when we left, so my suspicion is that it was delicious too!

The customer service is very bad. All the ladies working up front are very very rude and disrespectful. Also, it's definitely not kids friendly.
